PURPOSE(S):

Records are used to initiate reimbursements to enable the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) to distribute payments to DLA employees for certain miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses (training, tuition, Permanent Change of Station, etc).  Records are also used to identify employee-related costs associated with reimbursable orders received by DLA and to enable accurate billing of those reimbursable orders.
Records are used to create a general ledger file containing the accounts necessary to reflect DLA operational costs. Operations costs consist of operating accounts, liability accounts, budgetary accounts, and statistical accounts, maintained for the purposes of establishing, in summary form, the status of the DLA accounts and to provide an audit trail to verify accuracy of reports.

Records are used by financial management offices to validate and accurately record employee-labor operational expenses.
Records are used to determine DLA civilian payroll budgetary requirements.

Records are used by internal auditors to conduct audits or investigations into the DLA accounting and financial management process.

Records are used by the DOD Components who receive accounting and financial management support from DLA under an administrative support agreement for accounting and financial management purposes.

Records devoid of personal identifiers are used for extraction or compilation of data and reports for management studies and statistical analyses for use internally or externally as required by DOD or other government agencies.

Statistical data, with all personal identifiers removed, may be used by management for program evaluation, review, or oversight purposes.
